Kick counts

I am 29 weeks and 3 days, I have an anterior placenta and am plus size. Yesterday, I felt my son kick a lot like all day yesterday and today I've only felt him 3-4 times.. this seems to be his pattern I feel him a lot one day like he's moving my whole stomach then the next day nothing. Is this kind of normal with an anterior placenta? I'm filled with worry in this pregnancy.

I also have anterior placenta, and some days I feel him more than others. I believe I just missed the movements but when I stay still and try to concentrate I can feel a little bit and I know he is fine

I’m having the exact same issue today, baby moved ALL DAY LONG yesterday, and hardly anything today. I also have an anterior placenta. I try not to stress, but I totally am. I feel like I can’t even enjoy being pregnant because I’m constantly worried.

I also have an anterior placenta. Perhaps this is why i didn't feel any movement till well after my 21st week. After that, however, it was like I had a gremlin in my tummy cause she moved and kicked constantly. Now that im nearly 31 weeks, her movements have become less crazy and more faint, i guess cause she has far less room to move about.

I have noticed a pattern with her though. If she spends days bouncing about, she will suddenly go into full exhaustion mode, and I will feel her very little. Then the following day she's back to her karate lessons lol.

Yesss, totally can relate. I asked my midwife if it's okay to go a day without feeling him then the next he's moving like crazy she said it was. If I lay on my side for like an hour focusing hard on his movement I can feel him maybe once or twice on his not very active days. I have prehypertensuon and I'm constantly reading scary articles on what could happen and these maybes.. that all I do is worry. I gotta stay off google lol

Totally. I wonder with anterior placenta they can have a day of being in a good position to where you can feel all the hard kicks then the next day you feel lighter kicks/movement since there is cushion.
